BUSINESS TO BUSINESS SHOW

Drive-Tech attended the very busy and popular Swindon Business Show last week.    We were helped by Anita Jaynes and the very friendly people at Swindon Business News who put all our lovely winter driving leaflets in their goody bags and let us display our fancy banner in the reception area. http://www.businessshowswindon.co.uk/

We were also the prize on their busy little stand and Debbie Smith, Director of Helix Public Relations was the lucky winner – Congratulations Debbie, we really hope you enjoy your skid session with us.

The show was extremely well attended and we also got to have a quick look at the Steam Museum at the same time!   It was a great networking event and we met lots of lovely people from all the local hotels in the area including the Campanile Hotel Group based on the Delta Business Park, Tortworth Court Four Pillars Hotel in Tortworth and the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester.    It was also nice to catch up with Planet Pursuits the event organisers.

Hopefully we can catch up with everyone again, but this time in Bristol at the Brunel’s Old Station on the 20^th March at the next Show. http://www.rabbitevents.co/ 

Junior Kart Racing at it's Best 

Alexi Littler leads the Castle Combe Junior Kart Championship from Will Hertzell by just 4 points with only 1 round to go!  Although no one other than Alexi or Will can win the overall championship, the battle for 3rd place is hotly contested with a potential 9 drivers still in contention for 3rd place.  With prizes for the top six and a best novice award for drivers in their first Championship it is going to be a great afternoon of kart racing.    The best novice is up for grabs with Stephen Netting currently leading the way.  However, Ben Gilbert, Alexander Roberts and Charlie Summers still have a great chance.

For those that have not been signed off yet there are spaces in the morning sessions, a great time to get in some extra practice and get signed off ready to race in the new Junior Kart Championship starting 15th January 2012.  Telephone 01249 783010 and book your place today.

As it's Christmas there are sweets for everyone who signs on.

Even comedians need to learn new driving skills and last week in between his Brighton and Bristol gigs for his new 'Sunshine Tour' we had the Liverpool comic John Bishop along for a skid day.  Our instructor Adrian taught John and his team the benefits of skid control training and ABS/cadence braking techniques.   Not sure how much snow there is in Liverpool, but as he is travelling around the country with his tour I am sure all the instruction will come in very handy!
